We here report on the outreach activity using the Keio University Internet telescope performed by Science agora 2012 and 2013 in Tokyo. Many visitors came to our booth and operated the Keio University Internet telescope, and our project was awarded the prize of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. In addition, based on the questionnaire for that occasion, the usefulness of the Internet telescopes in outreach activities is considered.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the association of physical activity with self-efficacy and the internet addiction in adolescents. Methods: A total of 387 middle school students(1st and 2nd grade; 197 males) completed questionnaires to assess the internet addiction, self-efficacy, physical activity intention, and physical activity. The data analysis was conducted using t-test and multiple regression analysis with SPSS 20.0. Results: Results revealed that there was no significant difference in physical activity between the internet addicted group and non-addicted group, but physical activity intention was negatively correlated with the level of internet addiction and positively correlated with self-efficacy. Regression analysis showed that intention negatively predicted the internet addiction and self-efficacy moderated the effect of intention on the internet addiction. Conclusion: The results of the study suggest that physical activity may be helpful to improve problematic internet use in adolescents, and the strategy of enhancing physical activity intention and self-efficacy should be involved in an internet addiction prevention program for adolescents.
